Sorry for this off-topic thread.. please feel free to flame me
I am curious is there a correlation between mid to big size intuitive (as opposed to systems trading) day-traders and consumption of alchohol. Please this is in no way an attempt to condemn or encourage said behavior.. but I was thinking with all the serious talk regarding the war situation and the potential debt bubble situation a light-hearted thread might be worthwhile. Plus I have been having a few beers and some wine and am VERY sad to see SA lost to LA with 0.4 seconds remaining.. unbelievable.
My own story: still learning.. aspiring systems trader, part-time. I had some good intuitive trades (like switching my 401k from 100% growth to 100% cash 1 day after NASDAQ hit 5000 in march 2000), but in general I'm not very consistent (for example I missed the 2003 rally). I really enjoy systems development, however. At least I know my weaknesses
Favorite drinks: margaritas by far.. in fact I have to live in areas with good Mexican food.. just a necessity for me in life (luckily my newlywed wife feels exactly the same). We are about to move from Los Angeles to Austin, TX next month-- pretty exciting. Back to drinks.. I like wine, especially Merlot and anything from Louis Jadot, also some white wine like Pinot Noir, and almost any kind of microbrew beer. The brewery Fat Tire is highly recommended if you haven't had it-- the best balance I have ever had in any beer. My favorite beer btw is Franziskaner (a German wheat beer).
